Is this for AirPort Extreme? or just regual AirPort? Did it require a restart?
Maybet this has something to do with a new Wi-Fi thingy Apple has, but I doubt it, it's probbably just for the new iMacs.

Hey, I wrote on another thread that NetNewsWire killed my Internet connection everytime it downloaded new headlines...
it doesn't happen anymore... fix or coincedence?

Doh--thought I'd get first post
Oh well,
how is that Apple updates are made available through Windows Update?
MS Word certainly doesn't get patched through OS X's software update...well no 3rd party app does.

i hope this update also fixes the dropped connections i've been getting ever since updating to 3.4 a few months ago. very annoying to have my network connection disappear completely and have to fiddle around and wait for it to come back (with no apparent reason for the disconnection or reconnection). i never had that problem until i installed 3.4.
Odd, because it has no real description, just support links. And the fact that it isn't, by default, required, is interesting. But I upgrade compulsevly, and I was one of those luckey few who downloaded 10.2.5 (I think) that wreaked havoc with networking connections. Hehe. Of cource, my Windoze computer has that same problem and its called "Windoze."
Actually, that isn't fair to my PC. It is a great platform to run Basilisk II on. Hullo to System 7.5.5!
Wow, I got off topic on that one. Watch out for my next thread, due to appear somewhere closer to midnight.

Is it just me, or is the file not available for download anymore? The page is there, but the link to the disk image is bad.
I really want to update...my wifi connection cuts out for no reason at least once a day. (Ever since I switched it to mixed mode, now that I think about it)

Possible Reason
A while back I filed a bug about how with some cards the system will crash slowly during network activity. It would first drop the connection, then hang SystemUIServer making it nearly impossible to kill -9, then hang the finder, dock, and all other apps as well, forcing a hard reset with no crash messages whatsoever. All of this on a fresh install of Panther both patched and unpatched, after Airport was updated to 3.3 or greater.
Hope this fixed it. I'll make a new partition with panther tonight and see if it does. Here's crossing my fingers.

Am I crazy??
After I did the Airport update install, my wireless went on the fritz! I can't connect to anything! I finally got it to connect to my wireless network again... but it's painfully slow... it took me 30 seconds to get on AIM and Mail thought I was offline!!!
Is anyone else having any problems????

Given your experience, and the recent virex issue, I think I'll give this a few days to shake out...aint broken don't fix it...

I keep getting, "There was an error joining the network." WTF?!?!?!?!?

Actually, it's probably for Wintel users who have a Airport Base Station. It would seem odd to use a wintel computer to update a airport card that is physically located inside a mac.
